Priorities, keep the straight!

Many years ago, my grandmother cut this poem out of a newspaper, made a notation,"how true," in the side column, sent it to her cousin, and eventually got it back. Somehow it came into my possession. I've treasured it. My grandmother DID have her priorities straight in life when I knew her. She was a lot of fun and admired by many friends.

You know, I've often noticed that if I leave the house and something isn't finished or done here and I've gone off to do something I wanted to do or to visit or just enjoy, the stuff I left behind, undone, was still here, waiting for me to return, looking just as it did when I left. My Mom was one of those who couldn't leave the house unless every bed was made, every dish washed up, everything all neat and tidy, etc. And for what? To miss out on so much of life passing by her in the long run. Loved the poem as it does speak the truth, doesn't it?
